Pov Magnus:
I was flying surrounded by blood and death, every creature close to was torn to pieces by my claws as a black light enveloped my body.
Behind was Haku riding on my back collecting all the blood and bodies I leave behind.
Those around us were just mutated creatures with few features resembling the insects that must have been used to create them.
"< Presence of the Star Predator >" (I)
A wave of black light expands from forming an even larger illusory image of emanating black stars that spread for miles around .
These stars are constructions of Aura along with my Authority devouring everyone who approaches, absorbing their energies, vitality, and their bodies with Phantom jaws erging from within to do so.
With this Field I could feel the black light around steadily diminish as enemy attacks began to damage , the Holy Power within emptying like a mountain collapsing until it disappeared.
"Haku, NOW!!" (I)
"< Blood Curse: Berserk Predator >" (Haku)
I return to my normal smaller appearance as I pull out a crystal that I destroy by closing my hand, while the teleportation gate forms in front of Haku throws a shapeless liquid sphere into the air that begins to expand as it contorts as if there is sothing hidden in its interior.
Haku looked pale as she was falling, I wrap my tail around her waist pulling her into the teleportation gate along with .
When we pass through the teleportation gate I close it behind us as I feel a wave of Aura with frightening murderous intent.
When I looked around I was inside the base made of bones that we created when we first arrived here.
"Are you well?" (I)
"No... but I'll stay..." (Haku)
"Let take her to the Priests of Life." (Irius)
"Thanks." (I)
Irius and Irina appear walking towards us, Irius takes Haku who can't even stand with him seeking treatnt for her, anwhile, I sit on the floor checking my wounds that refuse to close, among them one of the wounds seed to be expanding, this wound on the side of my arm had a strange red energy around it that seed to devour my body.
"Let handle it." (Irina)
"< Spatial Separation Barrier >" (Irina) n.(01n
I nod to Irina as a barrier forms around the affected area of this wound, this includes the inner area of this wound with the barrier extending into my arm.
I soon feel a sharp pain as this barrier pulls away from with the entire part of my arm around it affected within the barrier leaving an even more cruel wound behind revealing my bones.
Even with this increased pain, I was relieved to get rid of that injury, just by looking it was possible to see the regeneration process starting to work even faster than the other injuries.
"Did you get hit by the tentacle again?" (Irina)
"He left the ground while I was falling, I couldn't avoid it completely, he almost took my entire arm." (I)
"Do you want to take care of your other injuries?" (Irina)
"No, even if it takes a while they will still recover on their own, just that injury was the exception." (I)
Even using my Aura or Authority I was unable to expel the contaminated energy from that wound, the only thing I could do was isolate it so it wouldn't spread throughout my body, and even that was a temporary prevention.
"Is everyone back yet?" (I)
"Yes, we are just focusing on the space battles to contain him now, Alice's Group will be back in a few minutes... it looks like it has started." (Irina)
"..." (I)
I follow her gaze to the planet that looks like a large sphere with hundreds of tentacles swaying around it, by far the only thing we could see that catches the eye is the dark purple color spreading, looking a little more detailed it was possible see that this sickly color was spreading across the ocean.

Pov Alice's:
The situation was getting worse and worse, Loki's body was just skin and bones as multiple wounds opened up on his skin, and his vitality was falling more and more even with transferring vitality from Veronica, Athena, and mine to him continuously.
The current of this ocean ford a sphere circling around us, warding off any attack against us, anwhile, I couldn't help but continue following Lyra's progress, creating the magical ritual using Zenos' blood as a conductor.
The ritual was done with 186 layered magic circles arranged in 6 interconnected groups with thousands of Spiritual Runes implented, several items that ca from Dragons are being used here, this includes the Heart of an Elder Poison Dragon and 3 Poison World Cores that they were literally delivered here by a hand crossing a spatial crack that closed soon after, we didn't even know what that was until Veronica explained, as she was once a Goddess her knowledge is vast.
"Lyra, we don't have any more ti!" (I)
"It's not my fault that the ritual must be done all at once, but I'll start." (Lyra)
"< Potion Control >" (Lyra)
"< Potion Spread >" (Lyra)
"< Crystallize >" (Lyra)
An exact copy of the magical ritual was being created using the poison I created, it was a 10 ter tall dark purple sphere with almost living energy flows within it, the sphere was falling apart forming liquid flows in the air forming an exact copy of the ritual below before crystallizing into the air, its liquid form becos thick lines of crystal as energies appear to flow within these lines.
"Alice... wake up Karina now!" (Lyra)
"I... I'm awake..." (Karina)
Karina had already woken up a long ti ago and is physically recovered from her injuries, I kept her resting just to be ready at this mont, I exchange a look with her while I interrupt the transfer of vitality to Loki with Veronica already making him stop what he is doing, with this the defenses will collapse in minutes.
Karina and I positioned ourselves on one side of the ritual with Lyra at the other end, forming a triangle between us, Lyra was concentrated on the ritual above perford with her poison, anwhile, Karina and I closed our eyes to control the ritual below perford with the blood of Zenos.
"< I who exist as a living symbol of your will cry out for your power, may I be the channel through which your will is present. >" (/Karina)
Karina and I focused on using our Authority as well as deep connection with Zenos to channel his Sacred Power stored within the pool of blood in the Communal Temple where his statue is enshrined.
Soon we feel the Sacred Power traveling to us, I feel my body filled with a seemingly limitless amount of power and I dare not hold it within for even 1 second as I beco a dium to infuse this Sacred Power into the Magical Ritual.
anwhile, I felt the pressure of my act of channeling this power devastating my body, but I still remained concentrated while a mountain of magical crystals surrounded Lyra who channeled all that Mana into her Ritual.
Before long I could no longer pay attention to my surroundings, even standing up was becoming difficult as my bones were cracking from the pressure of the power flowing through my body, I could feel the Magical Ritual like a bottomless pit where all this Holy Power ca from it just disappeared, instinctively I knew I needed more Holy Power and I could feel the Ritual almost co to life as it began to actively suck the Holy Power out of .
The flow of power passing through my body is becoming faster and rougher, my consciousness was starting to waver as I felt the Holy Power fill that bottomless pit faster and faster until it was complete.
It was at this mont that all this Holy Power began to burn, in my vision the ritual below began to burn in Starfire while refining the ritual materials, lines of energy flow of all colors rged with streams of Holy Power traveling to the Magical Ritual above made with Lyra's poison.
The energy flows passing through Lyra's crystallized venom beco increasingly lively, emanating an absurd energy and at the sa ti corroding the surroundings as if corrupting the area before it was even activated.
"< Sacred Ritual: Incarnation of the Cursed Poison of Desecration >" (Lyra)
"< Activate >" (Lyra//Karina)
At that mont I was no longer able to see and I felt two consciousnesses joining mine, they were Lyra and Karina, our consciousnesses joining the ritual during its activation in a single will, our vision being shared showing that only Lyra was able to see to see the ritual activating.
The glow of purple energy was flowing through the ritual above acting more and more like a living creature as jaws of shapeless energy began to absorb the Starfire from the Ritual below as the two Rituals combined into one, this ritual moves with particles of that energy dark purple becoming what looked like purple leeches that moved together forming an increasingly larger version that looked truly alive.
This large purple Leech was just a clump of smaller Leeches and you could see this as it moved into the ocean current that acted as an increasingly weak barrier around us, as it did so the water turned purple and appeared contaminated as the Purple color seed to spread at rapid speed.
That was when I felt the connection of consciousness with Lyra and Karina break, I managed to open my eyes briefly where I saw Athena carrying and Karina into a Teleportation Gate like the one we used when arriving on this Planet, Veronica anwhile carrying Lyra and Loki.
Those were the last things I felt, the flow of Holy Power had already stopped flowing through , but the damage was already done and I had no strength to heal myself as I fell into a deep sleep.
